Ciao e grazie Beh, in generale se vuoi creare un collegamento ad una data cartella sul desktop (KDE) fai cos: vai alla cartella che desideri collegare (nel tuo caso /mnt/windows) e trascini la cartella sul desktop. Quindi selezioni "collega qui" dal men a tre voci che ti compare. Et voil, il gioco fatto. Se poi ci clicchi sopra col destro puoi anche rinominare il collegamento e dargli l'icona grafica che vuoi tu! Alternativamente, puoi premere col tasto destro del mouse sul desktop scegli nuovo, Quando l'icona e` pronta gli clicchi sopra sempre col tasto destro del mouse e finisci le impostazioni, compresa l'immagine che la rappresenta. ciao, andrea

Re: [newbie] DrakFont
If you installed your linux from a disc and you still have it near you, you can
reinstall drakfont on your computer after you do my fix that I had posted earlier. You
have to do the "fix" first, because reinstalling drakfont. I take that back, try
it and let us all know if that works.
Otherwise, there is always my "fix".

hi all. i have following problem: i want to make a backup of my existing root filesystem which resides on a 500 MB IDE disk, hda for this to work i chose a second 500 MB IDE disk and copied the whole disk via norton ghost, hdb then i rebooted, mountet the duplicate (hdb) and installed lilo in the MBR of hdb by issuing "lilo -b /dev/hdb" in the etc directory of hdb. i got : "ignoring entry boot=" and : "warning : /dev/hdb is not the first disk" i ignored these warnings because i knew hdb would get the first disk by plugging out the old hda and jumpering hdb to master. so i continued : another reboot, plugged out the old hda, re-jumpered hdb to master (which made it hda) and (tried) to boot linux... the only thing i got was : LI nothing else.then my machine locked up. has anyone any advice on this ?..what am i doing wrong ?...i cant imagine.this HAS to worki have a 1:1 copy of the root fs, lilo.conf is ok and lilo is in the MBR.so.i cant imagine why this doesnt work. thx for any advice u can give... --quay -- -Quaylar- Icq# 30932448 [EMAIL PROTECTED] !

Both the 2.4 and 2.2.18 have been on cooker mirrors for months http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 Mandrake 7.2 shipped with a 2.4 kernel as an option. With the 2.4.x kernels, an **edit to 'mandrake_everytime' is required to keep supermount functioning, as the location of the 'supermount.o' module is different than with 2.2.x kernels. If you want to keep ipchain's functionality with 2.4.x kernels, you'll need to compile from Mandrake source, and in the config, turn on "2.2.x style ipchains support". I've also found it's better to config ReiserFS and supermount to load as a module, rather than built in. The prebuilt 2.4.x rpms have them already config'd this way with the exception of legacy ipchains support (the 2.4's use the newer iptables). Also, the prebuilt doesn't have ppp support enabled in the 2.2.x manner, so it's necessary to modprode ppp module(s) to enable **it. ** can be found on the expert ML archive -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay

Re: [newbie]
Creating a mount point involves editing /etc/fstab, and adding an entry for the mount point you wish to have. A typical cdrom entry might look like this: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,nosuid,noauto,exec,user,nodev0 0 Mounting your cdrom is simply a matter of typing: mount /dev/cdrom Once this command is entered, you will have access to your cdrom through the /mnt/cdrom directory. To unmount, simply type: umount cdrom You can't eject your cd until you unmount the device. The exception here is, if you have the automount daemon running on your system, it will automatically detect when you place a cd in the drive, and mount it for you. It will also allow you to automatically unmount the device when you eject the cd.

you can su to root then issued the following command: cd /usr/src/linux make xconfigurator then you can configure what you want to include and exclude. once you have done that then you can: make deps make bzImage make modules before you install the modules. you should backup your /lib/modules/2.2.xx to /lib/modules/2.2.xx.old make modules_install then copy your bzImage to the /boot directory and also your system.map.

I've been trying to do a fresh install on 7.2 and been running into a problem with DiskDrake, but I'm not sure exactly. I have a disk with no partitions on it, so I tell diskdrake to do AutoAllocate. it seems happy with that. Says it's writes it to the disk. Select format all partitions. it comes back with an error "Swap area must be" must be what is my question Some times it gets to a point where is formats the first two partitions then dies on the swap partition. I've played with sizing it differently and that doesn't seem to make any different. Strangely enough, if I just keep trying (about 10 time or more usually) it works and the rest of the install go off with out a hitch. If you go and look at some of the log screens it tells me "bad magic number" in some perl script somewhere. also no partition table on the drive. What gives? What bugs me is that the 7.1 install works no problem. Help!

I have used System Commander Deluxe with Linux many times and had no problems. If you are using System Commander as your boot manager, install lilo to the first linux partition. Do not install it to the mbr because that is where Sys Commander sits.

[newbie] DrakXServices not working
Hi, I've been having problems getting DrakXServices to work correctly. Even after a brand new install of fully recommended features (only non-standard aspect is ReisnerFS on all partitions) DrakXServices appears to do nothing. I click on a service (like httpd for apache) click OK, go back to DrakXServices and my change is now gone. Also, I reclick on the httpd service, click OK, and then restart my machine (thinking that changes may not be reflected until after a restart), and still nothing. I go back to DrakXServices and httpd is again unchecked... Help? Thanks! Shawn
[newbie] sound card problems with 7.2
I have a good install of 7.2 with one exception. I can't get the sound card to work. I have tried a dozen different sound cards with no success. In HardDrake, the sound card shows up but has no IRQ attached to it. If I type in IRQ5, I get an error that it is busy or in use. How do I find out what device is using IRQ 5? It is not the network card. The SCSI card bios says it is at IRQ 9. I baffled. HELP... I also tried ESS cards with the same error message.

[newbie] Missing ncurses.h when installing ALSA sound card drivers
Hi, I didn't get any reply to my first posting so I'll try once more and keep my fingers crossed... Problem: When installing ALSA sound card drivers the compilation of the utils package stops with the error "missing ncurses.h". How do I install this file in the easiest way? Background: Dell Inspiron 3800 dual-boot laptop with W98 and Mandrake 7.0-2. Unfortunately Mandrake lacks drivers for my ESS Maestro-3i sound card. The latest ALSA release does support this card, but when I try to compile the utils package it can't find ncurses.h. True enough, this file is not on my system even though I have ncurses 5.1-8mdk installed. I'd rather not have to mess too much with ncurses, as almost every other software seems to depend on it (!), so how do I get the right ncurses.h installed in the least messy way? Do I have to risk a forced uninstall of ncurses, downloading the source code and compiling/installing from scratch?

[newbie] Missing strstream.h when compiling ncurses...
Hi, this relates to an earlier posting of mine. I tried to compile ncurses 5.1 from scratch since I need ncurses.h for another software package, and the compile breaks with missing "strstream.h" (apparently belongs to the c++ library). What have I done wrong, such that I seem to miss so many important header files :(? Did I perhaps choose the wrong install method for Mandrake (can't remember what I chose)? Any easy way to get a reasonable set of needed header files? I suppose I need a development install, but I'd hate to have to reinstall the whole thing... Any ideas, please?

There were several notices about files not removed because they were not empty. Now I have tried the install of some other rpm packages such as OPERA and the thing seems to hang.

Re: [newbie] Sound Blaster 16 PCI Configuration
I was running Linux-Mandrake 7.2 Complete. However, tonight I installed Linux-Mandrake 7.2 Powerpack Deluxe.

Just in case I don't understand how to verify that a package is installed, I'll explain why I think they are installed. When I run rpmdrake, click on the uninstall button, and search for Timid, it lists both packages. I believe that means that they are installed and I could uninstall them. Unfortunately, even with the Timid packages, I still don't have any sound. I used xmovie to play a couple of movies that I know have sound. But, no sound played.

[newbie] I got the recompiling kernel blues =)
Ok so let me start from the beginning =). I recompiled my kernel to 2.4.0 with some success. Here's the first problem I ran into after booting into my new kernel. During the boot up process I got a "failed" message something about can't find /lib/module/2.4.0-0.31mdk. So I went to that directory to find that I had renamed it to 2.4.0-0.31.mdk.old. So I dropped off the .old and rebooted. This time during the boot up, I got a different message when it came up to the module part. This time I got a long list of messages about "unrecognized symbols", or something to that effect. So I went back into the /lib/module directory and saw a 2.4.0 directory. So now I am looking at 2.4.0 and 2.4.0-0.31mdk both are directories. I checked both directories and realized that the 2.4.0 was the right one!!! The 31mdk directory was a previous attempt to compile the kernel. SO I renamed the 31mdk, back to .old and changed 2.4.0 to 2.4.0-0.31.mdk. The only reason I knew this was because I checked the dates on the files in both directories. So this time when I rebooted, I got the great green "OK" when it was loading the modules. Now here's where I am stuck I noticed that I get a eth0 module not found when booting up. I got this ever since I compiled the new kernel. So I go into gnome, and run hard drake, select hardware configuration. I select my network cardLTE-ON LNE100TX, and select to configure it, but I get this error "modprobe: can't locate module eth0". I also get "modprobe: can't locate pnp-isa" when I try to configure my soundcard. Now these work fine with the old kernel, but with the new one I guess I am missing something?? Now When I was going through the steps to compile the new kernel, I used xconfig and I know I selected isa-pnp, and I couldn't find my exact network card, so I selected what could of been one of them. The book I was reading from said you had to do one last step, and I couldn't follow the book at all. It said you needed to configure the new modules??? It showed some weird commands like this.. Example from the book: (Caldera) #find /lib/modules/2.0.35-apm -name "*.0" -print "/etc/modules/2.0.35/ $ (uname -v).default" please help =). Alan

Re: [newbie] Cable Modem
The previous message was correct if you need a static IP address. There are problems with this however. If there are interruptions in your service occasionally (as is the case with North-east Ohio's RoadRunner service) you may come into conflict with another machine using the address you normally choose. I assume that the reason you desire a static IP is to make your machine more easily accessible for things like web/ftp service etc. A more elegant answer to this might be to use the dhcp client that comes with Mandrake, and then use one of the free DNS alias services that are available. A company called DNS2go.com http://www.dns2go.com will for no cost, allow you to subscribe and to choose a DNS name. After loading a simple client on the Mandrake machine the service then associates your existing dynamic IP with the static DNS name. In this way you gain easy to remember solid access to your machine and you keep the network folks of your cable service happy! johnc wrote: On Tuesday 06 February 2001 20:21, you wrote: > Just had cable access installed.
